Taku Japanese Kitchen — Restaurant in Western Australia

The food was very delicious. The takoyaki is the best we have ever had with plenty of octopus and a tasty batter! The tempura batter was very light and fluffy. Miso soup was flavourful and not just an overly salty mess. Unfortunately the green tea mochi ice cream was rock hard and impossible to eat for quite a few minutes. The sashimi could be cut thinner and there was a small bone in one of the pieces. Aesthetically the place could do with an update. There are no toilet facilities and no alcoholic beverages for sale. Also very limited space and very few tables, so it can be a little cramped if things gets busy. Ultimately it is a nice little hole in the wall sushi spot with great quality food...

One of the most authentic Japanese restaurants I've been to, and the only one worth eating at in Mandurah.

We've been about 20 times and they've been consistently amazing, flavoursome and beautiful meals. I can never choose what to have on the menu, so I usually get a Set, which has some karage chicken, teriyaki meat of your choosing, tempura veges and a tempura prawn, Japanese salad, a serving of rice, a couple of pieces of sushi, miso soup, and some sashimi. A little bit of all of my favourite dishes.

The service is always so attentive and smiley, and always accommodating for vegetarians. The service always feels personal and friendly.

We will continue going back...

Our favourite nook in Mandurah. They have rapid service & they provide flavoursome japanese dishes. A great place for families on a budget. The decor is outdated but that is irrelevant considering you are there for the food not the furnishings. If you want flash then this is not the place for you. The only downside we find is the cash-only policy but that's because we are too use to whipping out a card these days. However there are plenty of nearby places where you can withdraw cash if need be. We have always left there full...sometimes uncomfortably full due to the amount of delicious food we stuff...
